Henrik Vejre

Henrik Vejre is a Professor of Landscape Management at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. With over 20 years of research experience, he specializes in multifunctional cultural landscapes, particularly in the urban fringe of Copenhagen. His work integrates agricultural production, biodiversity, housing, and recreation to promote sustainable land use.

His educational qualifications include:

• PhD in System ecological effects of Nitrogen Fertilization of Norway spruce (1996), Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University
• Master of Agricultural Sciences (Cand. Agro.) with specialization in soil science (1988), Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University

Professor Vejre's research focuses on managing multiple landscape functions simultaneously for sustainability. Key areas include urban fringe planning, ecosystem services, and the green spaces of greater Copenhagen. He investigates how to balance agricultural production, wildlife habitats, water provisioning, and recreational values in densely populated regions.

His recent publications (2023-2025) emphasize climate-adaptive urban planning, ecosystem services assessment, and the health benefits of nature in cities. Notable works address municipal strategies for climate neutrality, uncertainties in decision support, and the impact of urban heat on well-being. Much of this research is applied in the Copenhagen context.
